The Democrat long game with the longest game of all at the end. From Lucianne.com:

Rob Reiner Says Trump ‘Will Lose in a Landslide
Because Americans Will be Voting for Their
Lives’
Breitbart Entertainment, by Alana Mastrangelo Original Article
Left-wing Hollywood director and actor Rob Reiner is predicting that President Donald Trump will lose his reelection this November because “Americans will literally be voting for their lives.” While Reiner’s remarks are an apparent reaction to the Chinese coronavirus pandemic, the director did not clarify how exactly he arrived at his prediction. “Trump will lose in a landslide because Americans will literally be voting for their lives,” tweeted the Misery director on Saturday. [Tweet] Saturday’s tweet is not Reiner’s only prediction about the president. In January, The Jerk actor suggested that National Security Advisor John Bolton could be of major value for Democrats during the president’s impeachment trial

‘The Worse, the Better!’ –
a Strategy of the Left
Breitbart Politics, by David Horowitz Original Article
During the rebel Sixties, one could easily identify the ranks of the hardcore left by their constant predictions of a coming fascism and the evident glee with which they welcomed the prospect. Whether this was the product of a serious attempt to read the political winds, or merely a radical wish was irrelevant. They defended it as a strategy of “the worse the better.” In the 1968 presidential election, it was better to elect a fascist like Nixon than a moderate like Hubert Humphrey – that is, if you were serious about revolution.Of all my memories of the Sixties the revelations provoked

How the Obamas could easily win
eight more years in the White House
New York Post, by Michael A. Walsh Original Article
As the president of the United States shelters in place with the White House press corps, and Joe Biden gibbers senselessly into the GoPro camera in his Delaware basement, this fall’s national election has been thrown into a cocked tricorn by the coronavirus. Many of Donald Trump’s retail-politicking strengths — the huge rallies, his command of crowds — have been neutralized, and while he still has control of the narrative from his bully pulpit in the West Wing, the national media remains dead set against him, and puts the worst possible spin on every word he speaks.

.

Michelle for President has long been at the back of my mind as the intended strategy. I think it has only been Michelle’s reluctance that has kept this from boiling over, but with Biden’s senility unmistakeable, a new strategy will be imperative. And the less time there is to discuss what this means, the greater the possibility of pulling it off.

My post from The Age on Malcolm Turnbull’s dealings with Donald Trump underscores the sort of far left low life Malcolm was and is. But it’s worth bearing in mind that even at the end, when the Libs finally got rid of him, he commanded almost half the party room.

To understand a bit better the mentality of the kind of people who see merit in Malcolm, it is worth having a look at the comments section on the article at The Age I had quoted from. This is the comment which was overwhelmingly selected by those who went through the comments section as “most respected”. This is the comment that, it seems, most accurately reflected the views of the people who had read through all of the comments.

It’s all part of the job, as MT would have known this before he took it on. The American people did elect a lunatic and our far right wing politicians see Trump’s behaviour as pretty good, that is, anything you can get away while still holding the treasury benches is okay. Democracy is such a lottery, anyone can nominate and when they get elected their true traits come out. In Canberra Malcolm was from a different universe, well educated and successful while so many of the career MPs have done little else since they landed a ministerial adviser job at age 25 or so. These people no nothing [sic] about dealing with ‘normal’ human beings – they see everything from the prism of the Canberra bubble. My hope is the Libs and Nats implode – what a nice thought!

What overlap is there for those of us who are supporters of the American president with people who see things this way? Unbelievably ignorant, with not an ounce of common sense or understanding of anything. But they’re there, and in large numbers too. Useful idiots to the party leaders of the left though they may be, these “no nothings” will yet doom us to perdition.

Tara Reade never heard of her

The one great shift in American politics is that the right has decided not to ever again spike its own candidates when attacked by the left for actions that no Democrats would ever have cared about if their own candidates were accused of the same thing. Tara Reade has a credible accusation of sexual predation against Joe Biden which no media organisation has in any way investigated. All this is discussed here: Joe Biden Exposes #MeToo Movement as Total BS

Let me count the ways in which Reade’s allegation is infinitely more credible than Blasey Ford’s…

  1. Reade can prove she knew and worked with Biden in 1993, the time in question.
  2. Reade is welcoming investigative reporters to scrutinize her story, whereas Blasey Ford refused to do anything other than hide behind her attorneys.
  3. Reade has two living witnesses whom she told of the alleged assault at the time, both of whom confirm she told them about it.
  4. Investigative reporter Rich McHugh found a third person, a person who worked under Reade at the time, who confirmed that Reade disappeared from Biden’s Senate office around the time the alleged assault occurred. This fits perfectly with Reade’s allegation of the retribution she faced.
  5. McHugh found a fourth person Reade told about the event some 15 years ago.
  6. Joe Biden has a long and very disturbing history of unwanted touching, kissing, and nuzzling — we have video after video after video of him behaving this way in full view of the public — even with children, so one can only imagine how he behaves when no one is looking.
  7. Reade said she filed an official complaint against Biden at the time. McHugh says if that complaint exists, it is locked up with Biden’s papers at the University of Delaware, and those papers are locked up forever.
  8. Reade filed an official police report against Biden last week and did so under penalty of prison if she’s exposed as a liar.
  9. Reade is a lifelong Democrat.

I’ve heard it said that the Dems like the accusation since it indicates that a pulse still remains within Biden’s carcass. He will never get to be the nominee, or if he does, they either don’t expect him to win or if he does, that he will die soon after, or if not that, that a committee of the presidency will do whatever they do and merely wheel Biden in for the signing ceremonies.

The evolution of cinema along with the top ten movies of the 1910s and 1920s

And these are from the 1910s

And these are from the 1920s

Who would watch such things today? I am old enough to have watched these as actual movies and not just relics, specially those from the 1920s. Still, things had moved along so fast that by the time I was born you knew these were antique but were still worth watching just for their ability to tell a story.

Why didn’t Malcolm see his removal as a CIA coup?

From The Age: ‘Trump kept talking over the top of me’: Turnbull recounts tense call. Turnbull has to be the absolute high water mark of political stupidity. Is there anyone more completely dense who has ever been a political leader anywhere. Read this and wonder.

A furious Donald Trump berated then-prime minister Malcolm Turnbull over a deal to resettle hundreds of refugees, only to joke about the agreement months later by claiming 2000 “terrorists” would come to America.

The US President swung wildly in the negotiations to resettle asylum seekers from Manus Island and Nauru, in a pattern repeated in volatile talks to give Australia valuable exemptions in Mr Trump’s trade war with China.

Recounting the clashes and compromises in a new memoir, Mr Turnbull tells of a colleague going “white with horror” at Mr Trump’s ferocity about the refugee deal in a notorious phone conversation in January 2017….

“As his anger rose, Trump kept talking over the top of me, with more intensity,” Mr Turnbull writes of the phone call.

“It was as though at times he was talking to himself or perhaps to the people in the room, which of course included [then presidential adviser] Steve Bannon, one of the deal’s fiercest opponents.

“At one point, I looked up from the phone across my desk to [senior adviser] David Bold – his face was white with horror – so I turned to look out the window instead.”…

When Mr Trump asked his wife, Melania, to join the talks, he joked with Mr Turnbull about the refugee deal he had been so angry about months earlier.

“Melania, do you know, Malcolm has 2000 of the worst terrorists in the world locked up on a desert island and that fool Obama agreed to take them?” Mr Trump said, according to the new memoir.

“And now Malcolm has talked me into taking them, too.”

Mr Turnbull notes that while the conversation was “surreal”, the deal meant refugees would soon begin leaving the islands to resettle in the US….

“So, you’ve been having a little fun at my expense, Malcolm?” he said, according to Mr Turnbull’s account. “It’s not bad. Lots of people think you are better than Alec Baldwin.”

As French President Emmanuel Macron listened, Mr Turnbull told Mr Trump – “wearily” – that the refugees were not terrorists.

“Oh, yes, they are,” Mr Trump replied, in Mr Turnbull’s account. “They are the worst, and that fool Obama – the worst president EVER – agreed to take them to America. Can you believe that? Would you take them, Emmanuel?”

Mr Turnbull says the French President opened his mouth but did not say anything.

Mr Turnbull concludes that Trump is a “radical” and “populist” leader whose deliberate unpredictability generates fear and anxiety in other nations rather than respect for American strength.

The only reason we can rule out a CIA coup is that everything Malcolm stood for is part of the American Deep State agenda.

ILLUSTRATING THE POLITICAL DIVIDE: It is worth having a look at the comments section on this post at The Age. This is the comment which was selected by the others as “most respected”.

As he goes from blunder to blunder, his sure-footed errors have reinforced in my mind that our Scott Morrison has been following an internationally-determined road map that has nothing to do with our circumstances here in Australia.

So to thank the Prime Minister for his work I have set up up the #GoodForYouScott twitter account, which may be better recognised by its short-form version, GFYS.

The CCP virus

Will that work better? Is that non-racist enough?

Meanwhile: CCP Arrests HK Leaders While World Watches COVID.

What is perhaps the most astonishing, as well as the most disgusting part of all this is how ignorant and stupid the American media is, along with the entire left side of the American political structure. There is nothing racist by noting that a pandemic that arose in China had Chinese origins. What is racist is to declare that someone is racist for mentioning it. In that one shift in the conversation, the attempt is to shift the focus from one of geography to race. Who then are the racists other than the ideological driven socialists and media scribes whose aim is to bring a CCP political system to the West.

Really, these people are sick in the head. The media in the US are siding with the Communist Party of China against their own democratically elected government and their democratically elected president. Just exactly what do these media morons see in the governance of China that they would like to see introduced into the United States? Why don’t they fear the Chinese political system as much as they pretend to fear the CCP virus?

The American left is a toxic brew of ignorance and stupidity. If they do not see that this virus almost certainly escaped from a biological weapons facility run by the government of China inside China, their judgement is impaired by an ideological form of idiocy that may be more incurable than the CCP virus itself, with longer lasting and more harmful effects as well.

But in spite of all that there is this: The world begins to “social distance” itself from China in the wake of the pandemic.

As nations around the world struggle to deal with outbreaks of the Wuhan coronavirus, China is now experiencing the first phase of what could be considered social distancing on an international scale.

Where we end up from here is anyone’s guess, but the likelihood is growing that there will be widespread understanding of where this viral environment began, in spite of every effort by our corrupt and ignorant media to point the finger elsewhere.

The left could not care less about you other than your vote

Why Trump Will Win the
Post-Pandemic Election
American Spectator, by David Catron Original Article
It is by now obvious that the Democrats are determined to exploit the COVID-19 pandemic in a last desperate attempt to get the president. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has launched yet another Trump investigation, said his call to reopen the economy is “sinful,” and colluded with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to block the GOP effort to pass financial aid without which even more Americans will lose their jobs. Meanwhile, the nation’s Democratic governors refuse to ease their job-killing lockdowns, despite indications that the spread of COVID-19 has already passed its peak. The Democrats clearly hope that the resultant recession will cause Trump to lose in November.

The Pelosi Recession
Washington Free Beacon, by Editors Original Article
As another five million people flood the unemployment system, the country faces a classic whodunit: Who killed the U.S. economy? The novel coronavirus must bear some of the blame. Social distancing has pushed millions of consumers and producers into their homes. A temporary societal shutdown means a temporary economic contraction. But the length of the recession—whether the economy bounces back post-shutdown, or whether we lose another decade of growth—is as much about government as the conditions on the ground.

.
And bear in mind that the whole world has been turned upside with almost entirely the sole purpose being to defeat Donald Trump in the election in November. We would have had the virus anyway, because of Wuhan and the coverup by the Chinese government, but the over-reaction was entirely an American thing. But first the American left needed to work out how to confect the story. Here, is Nancy Peolosi saying there was nothing in it when Donald Trump had suggested there was and had cut off travel to the US from China.

And when that went nowhere as an election issue the Dems went for how derelict Trump had been in reacting to the virus too late. The leadership on the left is not just filled with stupid and harmful ideas. They are actually evil and will literally do anything it takes to gain power, which is their sole interest.

Make sure you watch the video while you still can since Pelosi is doing what she can to ensure no one else ever again is able to.

And for added emphasis:

Something to remind us how repulsive Democrats are
